I am the first Princess of D- you know what, nevermind, you've probably never even heard of the place.

Apparently, my father had the amazing idea of marrying me off to King Roy, the famous "Emperor of Ice" of the great Kingdom of Orstoll.

Isn't that great?

No, it's not great at all!

Fie, first princess of Deeman, finds herself isolated and stranded in the foreign Kingdom of Orstoll all by her lonesome - effectively having been wed off as a dowry gift in accessory to her sister, Princess Fielle's marriage.

Trapped and isolated in a small back garden that once used to be a storehouse, Fie lives her days without purpose, and eventually without food - after the only member of her entourage, the chef, resigns.

Just as Fie was about to give in to despair, she finds a pamphlet advertising a Squire's test for the Royal Knights of Orstoll - beginning her journey of friendship, hard work, and guts, along with masquerading as a boy to walk her second path in life.

What will Fie find along the way?
